Quick fixes are useful for resolving problems fast. However, the key to long-term success is identifying their root cause and eliminating them permanently. That’s exactly what Root Cause Problem Solving (RCPS) is designed for. With kyro, root cause analysis becomes structured and simplified. kyro helps you analyze problems effectively and develop sustainable solutions.
How Root Cause Problem Solving (RCPS) Works with kyro
Identifying Problems with VSM: The first step in problem-solving is clearly identifying the problem. If issues are not yet known, Value Stream Mapping (VSM) helps visualize processes, revealing inefficiencies and bottlenecks in workflows. VSM also highlights weaknesses in the process, serving as the starting point for further analysis.
Capturing Problems in the Open Challenge List (OCL): Once you identify a problem using a pink Post-it in Value Stream Mapping, kyro automatically records it in the Open Challenge List (OCL). In the OCL, all issues are systematically documented, ensuring no problem goes unnoticed. Here, you can log all relevant details about the problem, creating transparency and an organized approach to problem-solving.
Structuring Root Cause Analysis: Once a problem is logged in the OCL, the detailed root cause analysis begins. kyro guides you step by step through the process using the integrated A3 report. First, you describe the problem and its impact. Then, using analysis tools such as the 5-Why method, you dig deeper into the underlying causes, ensuring you don’t just address the symptoms but identify the true root cause.
Deriving and Documenting Measures: Once the root causes are clearly defined, kyro helps you develop targeted solutions. These measures are systematically documented within kyro, and you can assign tasks directly within the tool to facilitate implementation. The responsible individuals are automatically notified by kyro via email, including deadlines for their assigned tasks.
Tracking and Reviewing Progress: Follow-up is a critical step in RCPS, ensuring that planned measures are properly executed. kyro supports you by automatically sending reminder emails to responsible team members about pending tasks. Additionally, kyro integrates the PDCA cycle, enabling continuous monitoring of progress and adjustments if necessary. This guarantees that problem resolution leads to long-term improvements rather than just short-term fixes.
Efficiently Analyze Root Causes and Implement Solutions with kyro
The structured approach of Root Cause Problem Solving in kyro ensures that problems are not only identified but tackled at their root and resolved sustainably. With structured documentation in the Open Challenge List, guided problem-solving through the A3 report, and focused follow-up using automated reminders, kyro provides a comprehensive platform for long-term process improvements.
Rely on kyro not only to make problems visible but to find lasting solutions. Would you like to find out more about kyro?
